SPEECH OF
HON. THOMAS HARDEMAN
At Oglethorpe Park.
All Earnest Appeal to Georgians
to Build Up tlie Grand Old Com-
Conimon wealth.
Ladies and Gentlemen :
At the request of the Executive Com
mittee of the Atlanta Agricultural and
Industrial Association I have consented
to repeat, in part, an address which I
had the honor to deliver at a recent
Fair in Cartemille. lam sure, had I
consulted my own feelings I could not
have complied with this request, and af
ter the exhibition that we have had from
this stand to-day, I feel that one must
have courage, indeed, to follow in the
wake of the young orators who have
preceded me. fApplause] Isay that
had I consulted my own feelings, I
would not have been here to-day. But,
where so much interest and so noble .a
spirit has been manifested by the peo
ple of Atlanta in rebuilding her fallen
fortunes, and thereby enhancing the in
terests and prosperity of our State, 1
think that it is eminently tlie duty of ev
ery one, when called upon, to aid her
onward march of improvement. When
we look back at her course and remem
ber her as I have seen her and as some
before me to day have seen her, decked
in her bridal robes, and then as we have
seen her a widow in her weeds stricken
by the blast and crushed by the whirl
| wind and the storm, it must be a source
of great pleasure and of pride to see
her to day a widow with her weeds
thrown off, with the widow’s cap upon
her cheek, and the bewitching smile
that widows only have—more beautiful
by far than when arrayed in her bridal
robes. And therefore, I say that when
we see such an exhibition of enterprise
and of spirit we can but congratulate
ourselves, and congratulate our whole
people that, there is life in the old State
yet.
I speak not now of that melancholy
existence that characterized the child
ren of Israel when they sat down by the
rivers of Babylon and wept, when they
remembered Zion, nor of that angry re
pining and fault finding sorrow, which
was exemplified in the prophet ot the
tribe of Zebulou, when, in the morning
of his troubles, as he looked upon the
withered gourd that the evening before
had blessed him with its freshness and
its shade, he exclaimed in the bitter ac
cents of a Providence-defying nature :
“ It is better for uie to die than to live;”
but of a life, despite the withered palms
that overhang every household, despite
of captured cities, sacked temples, and
ruined fortunes, that is binding its ev
ery energy to restore joy to the house
hold, plenty to the coffers, independence
to the people, and honor and position to
the loved old Commonwealth. [Ap
plause.] A life, that sits not grieving
over the fortunes of the past, but look
ing at its glory and greatness,
shakes the dust of its ruins from her
winms, and pluming them for a loftier,
bolder flight, will rest them not until
she has gained that exalted height where,
overlooking her former greatness and
position, in the fullness of her fortune
and honor, she can sing again the song
of Georgia’s “uprising,” Georgia’s great
ness, and Georgia’s glory. Gloomy,
melancholy, sorrowful brooding never
restored a lost joy, a wasted opportu
nity or a broken fortune. Job sat re
pining over the conflagration of his prop
erty, the loss of his children, and the
desolation of his hopes, until his calam
ities forced him to curse his fate and
pray for death ; but this did not restore
his herds, his children, his fortune or
his happiness. Darker and darker grew'
the day of his being, until the sun of
his hopes set in the night of despair,
nor did morning dawn until, listening
to the voice of Providence, heard above
the loar of the whirlwind, he arose and
girded up his loins like a man ready for
the duties of life, and the requirements
of Heaven. Then was it that joy flow
ed into his bosom —a gladdening stream ;
his desolate heart heat with •pulsations
of strange delight, as new sons and
daughters sprang up, the pride and so
lace of his years; his pastures, long
herdless and abandoned, teemed again
with increased flocks and folds ; and the
old patriarch, in the decline of life, de
spite the afflictions of the past, its be
reavements and its poverty, looked out
upon a present rich with the posses
sions of earth, and a future radiant with
the promise of a plenteous contentment.
Cease, then, ye men of Georgia, to weep
over the wrecked fortunes of the past.
The tree has fallen, so must it lie; yet
from its branches the acorn may be gath
ered that, if planted now, will grow up
a mighty oak, under whose wide spread
ing shadow, in coming years, your child
ren can sit and sing those good old
songs that g addened the hearts of their
fathers and mothers, who will then sleep
in its shade. The waters of plenty are
spilled, hut the vessels that contained
them are unbroken ; and here iu the
wilderness of your desolation are llo
rebs still, which if struck by the rod of
energy will pour forth their gushing
streams, thereby enabling you to fill
them again even to overflowing; but
they will remain cold, barren rocks un
less the Moses of the land strike them
with the rods of their power. The
mountains of your State are rich with
mineral wealth, yet it will remain value
less and profitless unless organized la
bor digs it from its bed and converts it
into uses, remunerative to the laborer,
and beneficial to mankind. Your rich
valleys, susceptible of a culture that
would abundantly repay the toiling hus

that Providence in his bounty will ripen
for the harvest. Your noble streams
will pour their waters to the sea as they
did when the red mau hunted their
hanks, unless accumulated capital com
bines to turn those waters into manufac
turing utility, and thus give employment
to thousands unable to plough a furrow
or drive a plane. The elements of great
ness and independence are yet in Geor
gia, and ail that is requisite to secure
them is determination and effort. La
bor is the only talisman of success; ac
tion, will, application are all we need to
make Georgia the pride of her sons and
the glory. of the States. With a soil
susceptible of the highest culture, with
a climate unsurpassed for salubrity, with
a people homogeneous in their wants and
necessities, Georgia stands to-day, in
these respects without a peer or a paral
lel; and yet she is laggard in the great
march of improvement. Why is it thus
written of you, my countrymen ? Are
you degenerate sons of illustrious sires?
The same sun that germinated the seed
and ripened the grain for your fathers
blesses you to-day with his warmth and
his power. The same seasons that
brought their respective blessings for
them yet return to you, laden * witli
their gifts and their offerings. The
same earth that yielded them a plente
ous support and a rich subsistence, in
vites you to labor in her fields, whiten
ing still with richest harvest. The same
God that gaveth the sunshine and the
shower in the days of your prosperity
is yet able to give the increase in this,
the dark hour of your existence. Up,
then, ye men and women of Georgia,
and in the name of all that is bright in
the past and hopeful in the future, with
determined will —
Strike one more blow for Georgia’s weal,
Strike with ihe plough the fertile field,
Strike with tlie factory’s busy wheel,
Strike with the miner’s edge of steel,
Strike with the merchant’s thrifty zeal,
Strike oft, strike long, strike all who feel
Proud of her rivers and her rills,
Proud of her valleys and her hills,
Proud of the wealth her soil conceals,
Proud of her grain and cotton fields,
Proud of her varied, fertile soil,
Proud of her haroy sons of toil,
Proud of her women, her greatest pride,
Lovelier here than in all the world beside—
Then will her bonds indeed be riven;
Then will new hope, new life, be given
To Georgians all, who, where’er they ream,
Will point with pride to their dear Georgia’s
horn \
Educated tabor, diversified and direct
ed, is all that is essential t > realize for
your State all that patriot hope can an
ticipate or patriot heart desire, and, for
this diversified labor, every interest in
the present and every hope for the fu
ture plead and invite the energies and
enterprise of her sons. Your streams*,
must he vocalized with the music of ma
chiuory for this. (Jhorokee Georgia
has water capacity sufficient to turn the
many spindles of Lowell, and contigu
ous to them you have fertile fields that
can supply the thousands engaged there
in, with the necessaries of life, creating
at the same time a home market for the
production of your soil, and home sup
ply for the products of your looms.—
Here, too, is an inviting field for the
mechanic arts in your great natural lub
ratory of mineral wealth, whose inex—
haustable treasures lure you to-day with
their richness and value. One of Geor
gia’s greatest wants to-day is skilled me
chanics, not your mere builders of
houses, hut your Tubal Ca ns, workmen
in copper, brass and iron, to make your
engines and machinery .your cars,youreul
tivators, to work to advantage and profit
the area now lying profitless in your
mountains. She needs, as friend Gree
ley says, more shops, more forges, more
furnaces, more factories, more school
houses to develop the latent energies of
her people. Let the fire of your fur
naces be seen among your hills and in
your valleys, and let Georgia artisans,
educated in Georgia’s mechanical schools
and work shops, supply your necessities
from these furnaces and forges, run by
coal from your mountains. Let the hum
of the factory be heard above the roar
of your waterfalls, and the song of the
happy operative break upon your morn
ing devotions or your evening quiet.—
Let your common schools—supplied with
all the appliances of education—be
brought to the doorways of every citi
zen of the State, be he humble or in high
place, and Georgia will have begun in
earnest her march toward independence
and greatness. Exhaust not your fer
tile soil in the cultivation alone of corn
and cotton. Small grain and the grass
es will prove equally remunerative, for
every pound of clover hay, every sheaf
of wheat, and barley, and oats, will ever
command remunerative prices iu the
markets of the world Study, my coun
trymen, the ennobling art which to day
engages your time and your labor, for
agriculture, like the mechanic arts, re
quires patient study. It is a fatal error
to suppose that every man who can
plough a furrow, who knows when it is
seed time and harvest, is therefore a
farmer. Successful agriculture requires
educated labor. I speak not simply of
the education of theoretical agricultu
rists, but the practical experience, based
upon a knowledge of geology, chemistry
and vegetable physiology, of men who
look upon agriculture, not simply as a
great necessity, but as an art coeval with
man’s civilization and the basis of every
art that adorns and ennobles the human
race. The agriculturist should know
the analysis of his soil, its wants and
necessities; for old mother earth, like
the hyman system, has wants, the sup
plying of which is essential to her main
tenance and support. He should have
a correct knowledge of the properties of
mineral. animal & and vegetable manures,
and the best mode of applying them.—
You would think strange of an accrcd-
ited physician, who would administer to
a patient without having a diagnosis of
his disease, or any knowledge of the
remedies that the case demanded ; and
yet, with the same culpable ignorance,
you often administer to the condition of
the soil, without knowing one of its
constituent elements, and what remedies
are best suited to its requirements and
necessities l r es, my countrymen, the
professed friends of agriculture and the
cultivation of the soil, you are in many
instances the Cassiuses, and Cascalfand
Brutuses, that have mortally stabbed
the Caesar of your love. And when I
look upon the “bleeding pieces of earth,”
when I hold up the rent mantle and see
where your daggers pierced, with strick
en Antony I exclaim :
‘‘l am no orator ;
But as you know me all—a plain, blunt man—
For I have neither wit, nor words, nor worth,
Action nor utterauce, nor the power of speech
To stir men’s blood—l only speak right on :
I tell you that,which you yourselves do know ;
Show you sweet Caesar’s wounds, poor, poor
dumb mouths,
And bid them speak for me.” „
And your miserably wasted fields are
speaking; your gullied hillsides, j-our
scaled hill tops, are speaking ; your de
fective rotation crop system is speaking.
The remedies and stimulants you are ig
norantly administering to a famished
soil are speaking; your extensive farm
ing area system is speaking; your de
pendence upon the products of distant
localities is speaking; and each and all
are speaking in tongues that should
move the very soil upon which you
stand to rise and mutiny. [Applause.]
Study, my countrymen, the ennobling
art of agriculture, which is engaging
to-day seven-eights of the people of al
most every civilized community on the
globe. Far back in the annals of the
the ages gone we read of Noah, the hus
bandman, and Abel sacrificing “the
fiirstlings of his flock.” Again we see
the Egyptians in their admiration of
this Heaven inspired art, “ worshipping
the ox for his services as a laborer” in
the barn yard, and the ancient Roman
venerating the plough that broke his
soil, while Rome’s greatest encomium
upon one of her sons was to say, he was
a judicious and industrious husbandman.
As it was glorious in the past, so it is
eminently honorable in the present —an
active instrumentality in building up
those moral and industrial habits which
give position to governments and perma
nence to their institutions. A thorough
knowledge of agriculture, it3 wants and
requirements, will lead to a well devised
system of diversified labor, and this im
portant lesson Georgia should learn at
once. Look at your State to-day, poor
and impoverished, not because you have
not labored, for no people groaning un
Sder adversity have so heroically strug
gled against misfortunes; but because
you have labored unwisely and too much
in one channel. Learn a lesson, my
countrymen, from those who are being
enriched by your folly. Look at the
Great West; and she is great in all the
elements of greatness. See her as I
have just seen her, her labor directed in
a thousand channels, aud each one con
verging in the great ocean of her pros
perity. She makes her own machinery,
from her own mineral ores; she makes
her own woolen goods] her own furni
ture, her own farming utensils, builds
vessels and freights them; large cities
a-nd peoples them with a thrifty popula
tion, and in addition to all these, fur
nishes you, people of Georgia—l say it
to your shame —with your flour and corn,
your bacon, and your mules, that
may raise cotton to*enable you to pur
chase again the products of her labor.
All these you can do for yourselves.—
\ T ou have the minerals and coal sleeping
in your mountains ; you have the water
power at your very doors ; you have the
forest in all its native growth and beau
ty, and you have a soil peculiarly adapt
ed to the wants and necessities of your
State. Awaken,then, to the importance
of living at home and supplying your
selves. Then will success brighten the
horizon of your present, and hope gild
her Heaven with the radiant splendors
of your future. I am anxious to see
the day again in my old State when our
farmers will get their meat out of their
own smoke houses ; when the ox will
know his owner and the ass his master’s
crib, for I assure you if this latter ani
mal could speak as did Balaam’s of old,
it would be in denunciation of your
present mode of farming, and your un
charitable practice of forcing him to
earn a substance by grazing with Ne
buchadnezzar in the scanty grass fields
of the country.
Aye, say you. these are stubborn
truths; but our labor has been taken
from us, and we are unaccustomed to
menial service. Where are the hands
the God of Nature gave you, and the
determined will that characterized your
fathers ? l'es, say you, we have the
will, we acknowledge the necessity; but
then labor is degrading, and toil the
burden of a curse. Fatal, delusion, mis
erable subterfuge for indolent pride !
Labor is not a curse attendant upon
Adam’s fall. God did not intend in
creating man that he should sit an idle
admirer of Eden’s beauties, for he was
enjoined to labor in that garden, to “keep
and to dress it.” No briars or brambles
were to grow among its buds and blos
soms—no foul weeds among the plants
that were unfolding for him their beauty
and their loveliness. Creative agency
the very day mau was located in Eden
—its trees untouched by blight, its
groves redolent with the perfume of
flowers, aud sighing through their
b»anches the sweet music of Paradise,
with plenty above and around them—
enjoined upon him the duty, hence the
dignity of labor. Read, then, my
countrymen, in the very preface
(Times.
[of your being, the assurance of divine
will that you labor in the sphere assign
ed you. I know it grates harshly upon
the ear of aristocratic refinement and
wealthy indolence to assure them that
labor is a Heaion-enjoined duty, but
there is the record and the decree, and
i he or she who would mar the one or es-
I face the other should be forced to gleau
with lluth iu the barley field, or grind
corn with Samson in the prison house.
Over sensitive voting man, ashamed to
be seen at the plough or the bench !
j Vain^younglady, unwilling to acknowl
edge you can sew or cook ! Go read the
; history of the first laborer upon record.
It was the Almighty Godhead, the
great I Am. “In the beginning God
! created the heavens and the earth.’’
The very first line in creation’s history
I evidences the labor of His hands. Nor
did lie rest there until He made the
firmament from the midst of the waters,
set the hills upon their everlasting foun
dations, fixed the sun and the moon in
their spheres in the Heavens, created
earth, and placed man in dominion over
it. Then, and not until then, did He
rest from the works He had made. Nor
was He ashamed of the labor of His
hands ; for in the fullness of His exulta
tion lie pronounced it good. Away,
then, with the idea that labor is degrad
ing, and toil unmanly. Sweat of the
brow and labor of the brain are the
great talisinen of success in every avo
cation of life. Work ! It is the rod
that strikes the Horeb of all honor, of
all distinction, of all success. Wealth
smiles in its coffers, plenty crowns ks
boards, peace broods over its altars,while
glory wreathes it with the fadeless flow
ers of immortality. t
Honest toil dignifies character,
bles nature, refines poverty, elevates man.
By it Gallileo wove for himself a chap
let of stars, and Herschel wreathed his
brow with a coronet bright as the satel
lites he discovered. By it Fulion as
cended on wings of steam the rugged
eminence of worldly renown, and Morse
with electric rapidity transmitted his
name to the coming generations. By
is the golden gates of success are un
barred, and the' avenues are open to
those inviting heights, where wealth,
and honor, and fame await the success
ful comers with chaplets and crowns.
Labor, then, my countrymen, educated
and diversified, will soon show its bene
fiicial results in increased intelligence,
accumulated wealth, and universal pros
perity Are you too poor to effect these
grand results? Invite the labor and
capital from the North and South, the
East and the West, to come in your
midst. Give all who thus coine among
you, bearing in their hands the olive
branch of peace, a-hearty welcome and
a God speed in their efforts to aid you
in building up the material prosperity
of the State, so that she may stand a
peer among her sisters, an equal among
them all. And it will not be long be
fore joy wili kindle again in the sky of
your being, and prosperity gladden your
hearts with the fullness of its treasures.
Work—well directed labor —is the key
that will unlock to us the treasures we
desire. Fathers, teach your sons that
industry is the parent of every virtue,
idleness the mother of every vice. Teach
them that David, the shepherd, was as
honored as was David the King. Im
press upon them that Paul, the tent
maker, was esteemed eminently fit to
become an ambassador of Christ, and a
spokesman of Heaven. Teach them
that Franklin, at his printing press, Cin
cinnattus, at his plough, were nobler
specimens of true manhood than are the
fashionable gentry of this day, whose
gloved hands never administered to a
family’s necessity, and whose idle brains
never originated a thought that elevated
themselves or benefitted society.
Young men, to you, upon whom rests
the future of your State, her position,
her honor and her glory, I appeal to
day. You must be the pioneers in her
great march of improvement. Bowed
not down with the misfortunes of the
past, you can bring to the discharge of
your duties firm resolves, resolute wills,
manly hearts. Be not ashamed of the
work before you. Georgia calls, you
must obey, and in the field and the work
shop, at the bench or the bar, in the
laboratory or in the forum, show by
your perseverence, ? your intelligence and
your will, that her sons are equal to the
duties of the hour and the necessities of
the State. Think not you are fulfilling
your duty or your destiny.
“ When you rise, tie on your neck cloth,
with skill and with ease.
For young men when they go out in the
world, if you please,
Must have their necks tied up, there is
not a doubt of it,
Almost as tight as some men who go out
of it.
With mustaches well oiled, and boots that
hold up,
The mirror to nature, 60 bright, you could
sup,
Off the leather, like china, with coat, too,
that draws
On the tailor, who suffers martyr's ap
plause.
With heads bridled up, like a four-in-hand
team,
And mouths, that some say, are run chiefly
by steam,
A cane, their only visible means of sup
port,
Disdaining cold water, they drink sherry
or port,
With cigar in their mouths—ah, that's glory
enough,
For their lives like thin smoke, can go up in
a puff,
And with curls, like those locks to Mus
eulmen given,
For angels to hold by, as they lug them to
Heaven.”
Thus photographed, you may com
mand the admiration of the thoughtless
and the gay; but nobler far, in the eyes
of the man of merit, is the humble la
borer returning to his neat cot tage home,
• the consciousness of duty performed
| gladdening his breast, the sweat of his
j brow jeweling his face, the dust
lof his field proclaiming his voca
' tion and his calling. Mothers, learn
I your daughters that the work of the
| household, the kitchen, and the dairy,
j is a jewel in the casket of their adorn
| men Us ; for, believe me, the artist never
painted lovelier pictures than did Solo
mon; when he photographed his ideal
of accomplished womauhood :
“She seeketh wool ami flax, ami workotUdil
igently with hands;
She layeth her hands to (he spindle, and her
hands hold the distaff |
iShe lookelh well to the ways of her house
hold,and euteth not the bread of idleness. ’ ,
Verily doth the work of such a one j
Upraise her in the gates.” Young wo- |
man, be man’s helpmeet in this, the
hour of his adversity. (Jo back to the
simple customs and fashions of your
mothers; for, while your fathers arc
struggling with poverty and misfortune, I
it were bettor that you should be
a Rebecca at the well, clad in ,
simplicity, with your pitcher upon your
shoulder, ready to give drink to theser- *
vant of the Lord and the camels of his
attendants,” than Sheba’s Queen, elad
in the silk and purple of Eastern luxu
riance. Economy now is wealth, and
you, my fair countrywomen, whose sac
rifices in war were only equalled by a
patriotism pure as rain drops from vir
gin clouds, must for the present sacri
tice, upon the altar of duty, your fash
ionable follies and costly extravagances.
Do your duty, young man —young wo
man—in this, the hour of your State’s
necessity, and the historian, catching
the inspiration of a rural bard, can ex
-1 claim,
“In vain fair Geo. gia weeps her desert plains,
She moves her envy, who so well complains.
In vain has war’s oppression laid her low.
She wears the garland on ber faded brow.
Ain id her bowers the conqueror’s hand is seen,
And desolation saddens all her green ;
But blessed with these, of native strength
possessed,
Though very poor, we still are very blest.”
Cheerful home duties will create home
pleasures and home comforts; and thus
our children will become attached to the
spot where their infant eyes first saw the
sunlight and their infant ears caught
the first notes of nature’s minstrelsy.—
To accomplish this, make home beauti
ful and lovely. Adorn the old home
stead with fruits and flowers, and you
will attach them to the old walks of their
fathers, and implant in their bosoms a
desire to be buried in the shadows of
the trees that surrounds the dear old
homestead. Thus you will have a set
tled population that, looking to their
present surroundings as their homes in
the future, will, both for comfort and
emolument, improve, beautify, and adorn
them. No State can permanently pros
per whose population has no fixed abode
-- no “abiding home.” Georgians, why
leave your own to link your destiny with
that of another State '( Has any other
fairer skies, more salubrious climate,
lovelier women than your native State?
Here lie the bones of your fathers and
your mothers, abandon them not.—
Here, too, your sons are lying. Upon
Xlje ensanguined battle fields of your
StaTfc—from Missionary llidge to their
humble graves among the flowers of our
Southern coast, they are lying, and from
their patriot graves comes the eloquent
appeal, stamped with the earnest of the
noble dead, abandon not the State hon
ored with our dust immortalized by our
deeds. Listening to that patriotic ap
peal to day, let us, Georgians, bury the
animosities of the past, and linking our
shields together, strike one more blow
for Georgia’s prosperity and Georgia’s
glory. Workingmen of the State, la
borers :n her fields, her workshops and
her factories, upon you hang our hopes
for prosperity and independence. You
are the Atlas upon whose shoulders
rest the present and the future
of your State. Be not discouraged
at the bereavements of the past, or the
forebodings of the future. The night,
is dark, but through its mantling gloom
a feeble star sends forth a glimmering
ray. It is the star of duty. Follow it,
it may prove the Bethlehem of your
deliverance. Borrowing an illustration
from an eminent Divine, “Let this, my
countrymen, be Israel’s last night in
Egypt.” Prepare the paschal lamb;
sprinkle the blood upon the lintels and
the door posts and with sandals on your
feet and staff in hand, begin your march
from this land of bondage and of slavery.
The perils of the wilderness, its length
eninggloom, its dark shadows, its threat
ening dangers, may be before you; but
if you are true to yourselves, true to
your fathers, who have gone before you,
true to your old State, you too shall
commemorate your exodus from the evils
that threaten you, and sing in the full
ness of your joy, your “ passover song
of deliverance.” Then, my countrymen,
amid the green fields and rich pastures
of your Canaan, where in plenteous con
tentment, financial independence, intel- !
Letual wealth, and social refinement, !
you shall dwell in fellowship and in
peace with the children of your love,
may you exclaim, with feelings of tri
umphant pride, “ This is my State,
whose power is heralded, from her moun
tains, and whose greatness is echoed
from her valleys and her hills. [Ap
plause.]
